New rear brakes and the BMW r90 is ready to rumble.....mainly in the wake of the Nortons, Triumphs, Ducatis and Guzziz.....

Its a cool track with lots of elevation changes... in field drops by 8 metres!!!
Turn 1 drops down out of sight on approach......exciting. :lol:

Yeah the BMW has a certain Norton sound to it.... :roll:
Last meet improved my lat times by 7 seconds...... must be the extra HP from the mufflers and velocity stacks....

Maybe you could bolt up a Zoller compressor, those Nazi blown G.P.500 BMWs were 1st to do the fabled ton-up lap at the `39 I.o.M. TT, & were reputed to have `bout 80hp. [Well, either that or a set of Rennsport replica race cams eh?].

In the British/American tradition of if you can't beat them ban them no superchargers are allowed...... :lol:
No further development on this bike as resources have moved onto the new 500 project.... :roll:

This should be better . F500 were only things that looked lively at the muscle car masters .
